A Milwaukee man was charged Tuesday with bludgeoning to death his 12-year-old grandson after finding money missing from his wallet.
The pre-teen died Sunday at a Milwaukee hospital and the cause of death is listed as multiple blunt force injuries to the head. Martina told police he awoke about 3 a.m. Sunday to find his wallet open and money missing. The victim, who was sleeping over at Martina's house along with an 8-year-boy, denied taking the money and turned his pockets inside out to show they were empty, according to the complaint. The complaint said that after he beat the boy, Martina took the child into the shower and attempted to rinse off his blood. The victim was not taken to the hospital until about 9 a.m. About 45 minutes after arrival, doctors pronounced the boy dead, FOX 6 reported.More Related News
